  • Yes Laur has a very wonderful place. This is my hometown. People here are respectful and have good dignity.
  • I've been working and living here in Auckland, New Zealand for more than two decades and already a NZ citizen. Like many Laureans living overseas still longing to visit our birthtown and be part of the community even for a short period of time. There's no place like home where the community and its environment are considered an awesome to everyone.
  • I want to visit Laur someday and experience of what it is to be in a cool place (beautiful sceneries and mountain view) with very respectable and dignified people. I want to be a part of this place even for few days only. Are there transient houses here? My descendants are from Nueva Ecija but I was born and raised in Manila. I have relatives in Nueva Ecija.
